MEN'S SOCIAL SUPPER.
.
Mr. Josiah Howard Pleasantly Enter
tains About Fifty Gentlemen
Friends.
Friday evening, July 4th, 1902. MR.
JOSIAH HOWARD, one of Emporium's
most euergetic citizens and foremost busi
ness men, issued invitations to about fifty
of our citizens to partake of a Banquet,
at the Free Reading Room. An elegant
spread was prepared by the ladies of Em
manuel Church Sewing Society, under
Mr. Howard's direction. Just the object
of the occasion was one of mystery until
.Mr. Howard, who presided at the board,
rapped for order, addressing those present
as follows:
"MAN SHALL NOT LIVE 11Y BREAD
ALONE," "AND NONE LIVKTII OR
DIETII UNTO HIMSELF."
God in all ages has raised up men to
set forth his truths for our guidance in
life and growth, and it would seem as
though these words were well worth re
peating and studying 011 Independance
Day. Independence is not imprudence nor
renunciation of obligation and responsi
bility; neither is it withdrawal from the
sphere of orgausz'jd governments.
Our Fathers had no sooner proclaimed
this Declaration of Independence than
they began drafting a set of rules an' l ->
gulations to be known as the "Constitu
tion" and to-day, we their children, have
lodges, societies and corporations, with
constitution and bj-laws to foster i»nd
regulate u!l of industry, cli aity
and pifiasurc Nevertheless,as the
freest nation and people iu the world we
are growing to love law and constitutional
authority more and more, as the only
method ol reaching fair treatment and
progress among mm.
With this spirit of fairness and good
will toward each other, we are gradually
broadening and grasping the higher ideals
of life and realize that pride, with meat
and clothing, is not all of life.
We want patent laws that will protect
all peifc^H3, either native or foreign, in the
benefits of their skill or brains; we be
lieve iu the rights of ownership, but we
also u ; i.t families and friends with lodges
and churches, and wo must stop long
»nough in our mad rush for victuals and
style togo walking with our wives and
children as well us to associate with our
friends, and find time togo to church.
Giving t.i church and family money alone
will 1 do, wc must nive of our time as
T1 Sab Lath School and the Public |
School have done a gr< at good to the I
present generation, hut this good is very I
much offkt t w'ter • tli • school goes too far
and relieve the parent of all care or at- I
tenti into tlv« in nil and intellectual do- I
velopu 1 nt oi :he ehi' I.
Iu my opioi'. 11 tlure is no cloud on the |
horizon of our country's future that looms j
so da! i ly as the inclination of men to be
stingv >viui their time and to shirk re
spoiiM ulitv in family, or social and poli- I
tif.il ctlairs. And we are awake and '
realiz that we must do more than pass
divorce and curfew laws with cumpulsory
school attendance for both rich and poor.
Realizing that men are only grown up
i hildrcn and need the kindergarten sys
tem for themselves we will insist that
part of the public money shall be spent
on free night schools, free public baths
and an organized system of public play
grounds,organized and controlled, because
it is only by the kind jealding of the
individual for the benefit of the majority,
that the spirit ol fair play and generosity
are developed as the twin brothers of
energy and ambition.
If our town did not have any public
recognition of the Fourth it was because
you and I did not think it was worth
while trying to control the rowdy and
drunken element, but it certainly is not
for the good of our youug people that
they are left to seek their own pleasure
on National Holidays.
This is a reading room and a gymna
sium but it lias been the earnest endeavor
of the management of this building that
it should not drift into a loafing place
for boys, so their hours for attendance
have been very much restricted, as you
A'ill notice by the cards, and we would like
to ask your help in carrying out the idea
that a public library and gymnasium, that
is not allowed to become a loafing place,
is a good thing iu any city, if rightly
conducted. I wish to thank the large
number of you for cash and time, as well
us good will, so often expressed, and to
assure you all that the contribution box
on the stand is a willing receptacle and
that the moral support of your presence
here lor one-half an hour ouee a month
would do an immense amount ol good
and 1 am sure if we would all work to
gether wo would more than ever appre
ciate the blessings of that law which not
only regulates the speed of carriages,
bicycles and automobiles, but demands
that they shall keep their ligiits shiniuir,
not particularly so they can see'other
travelers on the road, but so that others
without lights may see them.
The Free Reading Room ami Gymna
sium is one of the handsomest place.-! to
be found outside of the larger cities and
the exclamations of admiration and sur
prise manifested by "strangers within our
gates" is one of wonderment that a little
city in the mountains is so fortunate to
possess advantages far ahead of majiy
cities. Mr. Howard entered into this
work for love, not for glory, and having
firmly established the institution a.l lie
asks is the support of our citizens in
maintaining it—their frequent attendance
and encouragement of all to avail them
selves of the knowledge to be found in
the good books to be found there.
Short talks were given by Messrs. J.
D. Logan, J. F. Parsons, J. 11. Fetter,
when the toastmaster, called upon C. W.
Shaffer, Esq., who responded at some
length, outlining the object of the gather
ing, as follows:
MR. TOASTSMASTER:—
It is fitting that this representative
assemblage should meet in this institu
tion, dedicated to the public l'or its
pleasure and betterment. I speak to
men with high appreciation of the
value of education in every direction
and of every kind.
In this community composed of
tradesmen and craftsmen all are neigh
bors, and because we are neighbors we
deal together as friends, interested in
each other's welfare and willing to
yield something to each other's circum
stances.
Let us adopt for our motto, "The
world owes a living;" let us, however,
give it proper interpretation, and let
us give thoughts to the suggestions
arising from such interpretation in our
efforts to discover a just and true
standard of success.
The most absurd thing for men or
women to do at any time of life is to
allow the least approach to an idea
that because the world owes them a
living the world ought to bring it to
them. This is not tlie way the world
behaves. It will pass by all who wait,
aud bestow on others wno are working
and striving, the good tilings it has in
store. It sometimes seems that there
are those, who, when their days of
study are over, harbor the delflsion
that the time of effort is past, and that
their educational equipment ought of
itself and by its own momentum to
bear them to the easy haven of success.
Au indulgence in this delusion ac
counts for the disappointed, the com
plaining and the querulous, who be
come the wrecks that lie upon the
shores of life's activity.
In this day of jostling competition,
one who, by individual, independent
effort, it able to meet reasonable \V:MUK
and to live comfortably,may be said to
be in receipt of what the world owes
him. Wnen this point is reached
modest accumulation is close at hand,
and usually only waits on economy
and a repression oi' fictitious needs,
and if wealth and fortune finally follow
honest, courageous, persevering
and self-reliant effort, the debt the
world owes will not be overpaid. Thus
in different degrees, the "living" due
us has been secured, that is so far as is
represented by comfortable existence
and accumulation. More is necessary
however, before this "living" can cor
respond with our standard of success.
For every degree of living the world'
accords to us we owe something to our
fellows—-the people of the world—
whether they are of our kin and house
hold or whether they are only related
to us by the broad bonds of common
humanity. Wo cannot keep honest
books altogether on one side, if we
have means to meet our wants and live
comfortably, we owe obligations to
those dependent on us, and a duty in
the maintenance of a household per
vaded by cheerful contentment and the
influence of morality if we have
reached the degree of accumulation,
the obligations are joined by others
covering a larger area; and it the stage
of wealth and fortune has been reach
ed, they have superadded to them valid
olaims upon*us iu aid of charity and in
furtherance of enterprises which ele-
I vate, educate and improve our fellow
men. With these duties fully discharg
ed, we have made a further advance in
combining the living we have secured
with the best standard of success.
The factors of success still lacking
are in no way connected with our
financial conditions, nor with any
obligations growing out of them. They
are attached to life itself and to human
fellowship; they concern our social re
lations, the duty we owe our neighbors
and associates and the duty we owe our
country.
Kind words to those in need of them,
j sympathy with the distressed and af
flicted, charity and mild counsel for
the erring, encouragement for the des
pondent, thoughtful consideration for
the humble and lowly, and a constant
exemplification of the cheerfulness and
happiness of an upright life will fre
quently yield richer harvests in the
fields of life's success than wealth can
produce. Let us add in completion of
our standard of true success, a constant
example of patriotic love of country
and a conscientious discharge of every
j duty of citizenship—not perfunctorily
S nor in blind obedience to party leader
i ship—but intelligently, and in sober
| recognition of the responsibility the
j citizen assumes to his government in a
land where the people rule.
Moved with a desire consonant with
these ideas our worthy townsman es
tablished these comfortable rooms, and
supplied the large Circulating Library
' of history, smaller works of science and
the standard and recent works of fic
tion, including the brilliant book by
our talented towns-lady. To this has
been added the Reference Library cov-
I ering extensively the many brawdies
of science, history, literature, poetry,
i oratory, statistics, diplomatic papers,
i and encyclopedic works, making a
I most complete working and reference
' library. All the works are by eminent
"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WKßSTKß.
EMPORIUM, PA.. THURSDAY, JULY 17,1902.
authors and compiled by competent
editors.
This institution has been established
not as a charity but as a gratuity. As
men to-day are measured by their abil
ity, as well mental as physical and
moral ability, and individual effort
alone advancing men, the provider ol
this source of self-education deserves
commendation from his neighbors.
But my friends, Mr. Howard needs
help to make the undertaking a suc
cess. Not financial help,but moral sup
port. He desires that we all make use
of the books, and that when we go from
here we encourage, by our example
and earnest words, the young men and
women of our town to avail themselves
of this opportunity to extend their
learning and prepare them for the
better withstanding of life's battles and
increase their patriotic fervor by a
clearer understanding of Constitu
tional Government and onr political
institutions.
When wc have created this broader
education by the means provided in
these rooms, and secured a large daily
and nightly attendance, not for loung
ing alone, but lor seeking knowledge,
we will have performed one of our
duties aud this institution will be a
success.
Rev. Father Downey, closed the toasts
with a very flowery and eloquent address,
highly complimenting Mr. Howard and
cordially endorsing the efforts to maintain
a first class reading room.
At an early hour y>e 15 anquet was
"called off,' but not until the ladies were
complimented ou the spread and Mr.
Howard cordially thanked for the enjoy
able occasion.
Dime Social.

Potter County Poor House.
Last week's Potter Journal contained
an interesting description of Potter's
new poor house and farm, recently
c impleted at a cost of about $70,000,
including farm of 400 acres. The hall
tone cut, published in the Journal
makes a good showing. Would that
Cameron county could support a similar
institution. It would be a great saving
to the tax payers.
Big Snakes.
Mr. S. G. Ostrum killed a rattlesnake
last week which measured six feet and
had ten rattles. The skin of the snako
was seven inches wide.
Fred Heilman met a large rattlesnake

Saturday evening and promptly
despatched the reptile With his whip.
The snake measured four feet and eight 1
inches and sported ten rattles.
We all Know him.
It is said that a man who won't take
a paper because he can borrow one has
invented a machine with which he can
cook his dinner by the smoke from his
neighbor's chimney. This same fellow
sits in the back pew in church to gave
interest on his contributions. Yes, we
all know him. He is a first cousin to
the man who never winds up his clock
for fear of breaking the soring.

Jas. Haviland met with a serious loss
last Friday. lie has several teams at
work near Canoe Run, on P. & E.

met with a severe accident last week,
Tuesday. While unloading some

Prof. A. L. L. Suhrie, of St Marys, !
was in the capita! city a few hours Tues
day, circulating among his friends, lie
was on his way for a vacation trip.
Prof. Suhrie was shamefully treated by
the Democratic ring of this county at
the recent election of school principal
in St. Marys, lie was the principal
there for a number of years and had
done wonderful work for the schools,
but he attended strictly to his own '
business in looking after the educa '
tional interests ofSt. Marys and did not i
attempt to do and political work for
the ring. It was decreed, therefore,
that he should be bowled oui and his
place given as a reward to another.
The people of St. Marys made a mighty
protest, and kicked against the edict of
£he political ring as they had never
kicked before, but it was no use, four
of the directors had been elected ex
preslly to throw Mr. Suhrie out and
they did it—aud held their own jobs.
It remains to be seen whether the people
of St. Marys know how to get even

Message from the Burgess.
To the Honorable, (Summon Connrit' op "
the Borough of Emporium:
GENTLEMEN: —I wish at this time
to call your attention to the faov
that the contract of the Borough
with the Emporium Water C 0.,.
expires this coming October, ancfe
to suggest that it might be well H
insist, when making a new contract
that the Water Co.. furnish an
ample supply of water for flushing
the main sewer as often as iv
necessary and that the decision ol
the Board of Health of Emporium,
be accepted at any and all times av
to the necessity of such flushing„
and that the work be done, invari
ably, under the supervision of th<
Emporium Board of Health, or its
representative.
1 mention the subject at this time
for you to familiarize yourselves
with the text of the present contract
which you will find in the hands of
your secretary.
Emporium has been, during the
past ten years, one of the IRIOVST
healthy towns in the state, there
having been no epidemics of any
importance whatever during that
time.
Ihe Board of Health of Em
porium was organized in ISO 3, out
main sewer was completed in 180f:
and it is 110 more than reasonable
to attribute to these agencies a very
large share in the causation of this
immunity from disease. It is well
to remember, however, that connec
tions are being made to the sewer al
most daily and that the old plan of
trusting to storms,high water,etc.
will not much longer avail.
Eternal vigilance is the price of a
great many tilings besides Liberty,
and in no branch of Municipal
Government is it so important to
act just a little ahead if time as in
that branch relating i< the public
health. If however it should prove
impracticable or impossible for any
cause io proout-*? » -iflicieut water
from the Water Co.. then some sui
table arrangement should be made
to flush the sewer by turning water
from the creek through the sewer
at its head, at proper intervals.
The Emporium Water Company
during the fifteen years it has
furnished water to this borougl
for fire purposes has had what may
be very aptly termed a "soft snap''
and i certainly think it no more
than fair that they should now lx
called upon to furnish water lot
flushing sewers, sprinkling streets
and all other legitimate uses of tin
Borough, without extra compensa
tion.
Faithfully yours,
E. <). BAUD WELL,
Chief Burgess.
Emporium, Pa., July 7th, 1902.
